Closing
Often, just by reading reviews on the web CMS, not enough to really know the quality of the CMS website. Always perform a web CMS to download and install on your computer is not a practical way. There is a website specifically to accommodate all web CMS from various categories, and the best thing is that all existing web CMS on this web demo version is available for both front-end and back-end (admin pages). We can try to make dummy data on the admin page, and see how they impact on front-end directly.
The web address is in the www.opensourcecms.com/. As the name implies, all the existing web CMS on this website are open source. As for the commercial web CMS, there are at www.commercialcms.com/. Both these sites can live because for web developers who want to introduce CMS Web CMS made, they may upload to this website, and then visitors can try out. Practically, the two sites is the best site to know and try a web CMS before deciding to download (or buy for commercial web CMS), and install on your computer or web server.
